experiment 4: archimedes' principle Flashcards
who discovered the Archimedes’ Principle
in 212 B.C. the Greek scientist Archimedes
briefly explain the following principle discovered
an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
what material is used to weigh the solid sample in air
force sensor connected to Xplorer GLX
weight of the solid sample in the air
Wa
weight of the dipped solid sample into the water contained in a beaker
Ww
Pw
density of water equal to 1g/cc
how much liquid do we need to fill in the graduated cylinder
250ml
what should you immerse into the liquid
hydrometer
*record the true value of the density of the liquid sample
weight of the metal sample in the air
Wa
weight while submerged in the liquid
WL
What happens to the weight when an object is immersed in water
It feels lighter
What happens when you insert a mass in the liquid
It causes to displace upward
What is the length of the string
2 string (0.20m)
